The autopsy on Academy Award-nominated actor Heath Ledger was inconclusive. If it was an accidental overdose it is doubly tragic. The 28 year old actor had been quoted in a New York Times interview saying that his role as the Joker in the new Batman film was causing sleepless nights and mental exhaustion. Some critics were already saying that this was his darkest and best performance ever.
I heard an audio clip on one of the entertainment shows tonight where Heath said that parenthood made him "look at death differently. It's like a catch 22. I feel good about dying now because I feel like I'm alive in her. (referring to daughter Matilda)
"But at the same time, you don't want to die because you want to be around for the rest of her life."
